Section six – Appendices Appendix 1 101 Appendix 1: Costs of regulatory authorities in other jurisdictions Table of indicators Most of the data in the following table were obtained directly from the regulatory agencies named there. In producing the table we were aware that: • figures do not all relate to the same accounting period and may not be compiled on the same basis; • labour and other costs vary between countries; • variations in exchange rates will affect results expressed in a single currency; • in some countries not all organisations involved in financial regulation have provided data; • the nature and extent of the responsibilities of the various regulatory agencies differ materially; and • the nature and scale of the financial services industries in different countries differs materially. We have included some figures that indicate the size of countries’ financial services sectors, but these can only be regarded as indicative. Because of the factors listed above, we caution against using the table to conclude that regulation in any individual country is more cost-efficient than regulation in any other country. It should also be noted that the direct costs of regulation incurred by the agencies in the table reflect just some of the total costs that regulation imposes upon the economies concerned. Where an agency has higher costs that reflect additional resources, it may be able to lower the other costs that regulation imposes. The figures shown in the table are all in sterling. Information on regulatory costs received in foreign currencies was translated into sterling at the rate ruling on 5 April 2007 (apart from those received from the Monetary Authority of Singapore, which were translated on 14 May 2007).
